The certificates were delivered and
the distinctions announced by Gilmer
M. Bell Esq, and the entertainment
closed with the Chorus-Daughter o.
Error (Bishop.)
Mr.. Bell acquitted himself in goot
style in his address. He spoke al
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen of thu
graduating class, and ladies and gen
tlemen. The exceedingly pleasan
task of delivering to the graduating
class of the Howell High School thu
diplomas for which they so nobly
, striven and soworthily won, has beer
been delegated to me by the honoreC
principal. Each one lisa "clear homo
purchased by the merito of the wearer'
and they are not given SO much as
reward of merit but as what is justly
due to natural ability Supplemental
by honest endeavor and untiring la
labor in a noble cause.
These diplomas may be intrinsical
ly of little value but as an evidenc'
of time well spent, talent well di
rected, as the happy fruition of day
of labor and nights of toll, they arr
badges of honor nobler far than tn,
blue ribbon of the knight of tn
garter, the cross of the legion o
honor or Russias golden collar of tht
order of st. George and should be $,
esteemed by you who have wol
them.
I am informed by the principa
that this class is realty the first grad
uating class of the school. / mean by
this the first class which began in TIN
rudiments in this school and ha.
worked up successfully through ever,
grade. The former recipients of di
: plomas were taught elsewhere thu
first principles and beginning in thu
middle grades, asst were, worked up
This being true comparison of this
class which has gone through all the
grades with its predecessors which
went through only q part as t.
averages may not be out of plac'
and assuming that the component
of each class to be equally in
telligent, we find the present elias
makes i6 per cent better average
than any of those going before
Now what does this prove? Not tina
this class is intellectually superior t.
all of its predecessors but that thu
graded system under which thei
rudimentary education was acquiret
